This nutty banana smoothie is so creamy you’ll forget it’s healthy

Bananas may taste like a treat, but in actuality they are rich in potassium and magnesium, both hugely important for heart health. Studies have found that the more ripe a banana, the more potent its nutrient levels, making those leftovers in the fruit bowl the perfect breakfast meal.

Try freezing them in individually and dropping one into your smoothie each morning with a handful of nuts for the perfect balanced breakfast. Rebecca Gawthorne for Nuts for Life has shared her favourite creamy banana smoothie recipe; "with the added benefits of cashews, which are rich in monounsaturated fats for a healthy heart, are a good source of plant protein and contain iron, zinc, magnesium & copper."
